pickWhen I‘m not working as a nurse, solving a puzzle or reading a book, I enjoy baking cookies. I read this TED book about motivation mostly for work. My boss asked me to participate in a 6 month leadership course and this seemed to be a relevant read. Some people prefer the TED Talks, but I‘m a true visual learner. I have to read it or write it to retain it. I get so distracted by all the arm flailing and strange pronunciations, so the book it is!
Goofing around on the internet and found this article. Not exactly what Iwant to spend my weekend reading, but there are some potential tbr candidates here.

My reading for the flight to Orlando. Love Dan Ariely and behavioral psychology, so super pumped to read this.
pickA mostly interesting overview of motivation and disincentives in our lives. No new ideas or earth-shattering revelations, but still a solid, quick read. Would make an excellent gift for any boss or supervisor.
Today @TheBookmarkPR -- interested in what motivates people to act as they do. Also: pumpkin spice coffee and warm corn muffin! 👍🏼 #SelfCare
panDisappointed with this one. Most, if not all, of the information in this book I had already come across in other books. Also, the tone was depressing. (Those in control-and that is NOT you- could decide to do A or B). Also dismissive of creative motivation ideas and focused on narrow binary choices. The good news is that it is very short. #netgalley My advice: watch a 20 minute TED talk and skip the book.
